2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · LP16 AXV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on January 5, 2026, 58,399 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable despite a recent mechanical failure just three days prior. At 58,337 miles, the tester flagged an excessively worn offside front lower suspension arm ball joint. The fact that this was rectified immediately to pass the re-test suggests the current owner is responsive to safety-critical defects when they are identified. At approximately ten years old, the recorded mileage of 58,399 miles represents a low usage pattern of roughly 5,840 miles per year. The data shows consistent intervals over recent years, with 3,215 miles driven between December 2023 and January 2025, and another 2,559 miles covered between January 2025 and January 2026. This low-frequency usage generally preserves internal engine components, but indicates that the drivetrain and suspension components have likely experienced less mechanical stress than a higher-average high-mileage vehicle. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry to ensure the ball joint replacement was executed correctly and that no secondary play exists in the wisharm or tie rods. The history from 2022 shows thin front brake pads and pitted discs at 45,354 miles; while these were not flagged in the subsequent clean tests, the buyer should verify the current thickness of the friction material and check for uneven wear. Given the low annual mileage, also check for rubber cracking on tyres and brake lines, as vehicles that sit frequently often suffer from age-related degradation rather than mileage-related wear.
